Former vice chancellor of Leicester DMU Kenneth Barker dead at 86. I only mentioned it because I read it as Kenneth Baker and thought the former Education/Home Secretary had gone

I am actually of the opinion that the only individuals who have threads are people who are actually included in the official Deathlist. Everyone else can fit into some descriptors. We didn't even manage to get a separate Doctor Who thread.

Well I have 16 uniques on my Theme team can't really complain about Fay Weldon as her ill health was all over the papers in the Autumn. Clive Barker was picked by a Liverpool theme team and Larry Niven and Melvyn Bragg were not surprised. Fourteen uniques on Unusual Suspects but this team normally does not do well. There is a reason other people do not pick them

Annami seems to have picked June Lockhart

Rings on her fingers. Bells on her toes. Mattress on her back. In case she meets someone she knows

This was hard. The first half dozen were not too difficult but then everyone else was a potential land mine. Am hoping that other people score big rather than I score small. Tough year.

Congratulations to the Captain. I have put his name up on the scoreboard. I see that players are really going for this and sweeping in for others choices to strengthen their teams. I've been forced to go for the slightly dodgy pick of Eileen Derbyshire for 1930 until I get the chance to do more research.

She should asked to stay One More Night

I was going from my original list forgetting that dear Zizi let me down and died before the game started.

In some ways it has been easier since lockdown. I have been twice. You have a chat with the receptionist, she gets a Doctor to phone you back and they decide if they need to see you. Once in the surgery waiting times are short.

A former colleague of mine who was Russian was dating someone who was very big in the local rotary club and he took her to one of these garden parties as his plus 1. Before the event she went round everyone in the lab asking what you wear to such an event. As if we were ever likely to know.

According to my forum time about 1 hour ago.

Albert Roux gets me to 15.

My wife has finally decided the time has come to sell her Mike Nesmith solo vinyl albums on eBay. One of them is the deliciously ironically titled 'And the Hits Just Keep On Coming'

Sylvester McCoy lasted almost ten years

No I would have retracted the points. It would have been a real pain if that was a 'winning' hit. Fortunately situations such as these are rare.

Even if the Conservative vote is relatively low if they were to lose their deposit it would provide a terrifying glimpse of what might happen at the Scottish Parliament elections. How do you regain momentum in a short timescale. If the current incumbent hangs around it is more likely the By-election will take place on the same day as the SP elections.

Totally agree with the degree of severity re NS's faux pas. However if MT were to resign (to clear her name) it allows the SNP to draw a clear line regarding responsibility. If she goes with good grace she can always come back at a later date but if she hangs around for a recall petition she will not recover from that and will not be welcomed in the party. It will give the SNP a chance to inflict a heavy by-election defeat to the Tories weeks before the Scottish parliament elections.

There is a threshold for starting one, criminal conviction is one of them. If the sentence is greater than 1 year (iirc) they are automatically disbarred but anything below that there can be a recall petition.
